The new hotfix that seems to be a server-side patch has gone live a while ago on the Xbox One. This hotfix has massively nerfed the requirements for character towers reducing the amount of grind needed to progress in them.

According to users on reddit, the following are the new Mortal Kombat 11 character towers requirements after the hotfix was released.

Level 1 – 25 Uppercuts and Throws

Level 2 – 10 Fatalities and Brutalities (down from 50)

Level 3 – 25 Krushing Blows and 10K Blood Spilled

Level 4 – 25 Fatal Blows, 10 Flawless, 25 Wins, and 25 Krushing Blows

Level 5 – 75 Wins, 35 Fatal Blows, 25 Fatalities, and 25 Brutalities

While it is still a grind to get to Stage 5, the earlier stages have all been nerfed by NetherRealm Studios. This hotfix is confirmed to be live on the Xbox One. It might be available on the PS4 as well but for those who are playing on PC or Nintendo Switch, they will have to wait a while for it to go live.
